*Specific research groups within the School welcome PhD applications within the areas of their current research priorities, which are listed below*.

Top Indonesian students in Computer Science are having a hard time to pass PhD admission in top research universities in the United States. Although they are brilliant, their applications are not at the âtop of the pileâ. One issue is that Indonesian students lack international refereed publications, while other international students (such as those from China and India) are well prepared in this regard (most of them have 1-3 top-tier publications). Performing great research however requires huge time commitment from students.

Therefore, the goal of this lab is to train and equip top Indonesian students with research skills and publications. The students will be paid to perform research under the supervision of research-active professors for 2 years. We, in particular, expect to train top students who have bachelor/master degrees but still need to acquire research skills and publications to pursue PhD programs in world-class CS departments overseas. The students will be given research tasks directly by the SCORE faculty.

The model of our lab (paid 2-year research activities) is derived from many other growing science and engineering departments overseas. Many departments have a 2- or 3-year program where the students are fully funded by governments or the universities solely to perform research. This kind of program also attracts international collaborations.

Please note that that this is only a 2-year program, not a permanent position. After the program, the students are expected to apply to top graduate schools overseas.
